I think it’s awesome. I’m hoping it has multiple purposes behind it. But I’m getting more joy imagining the liberal elements within federal employment ranks, sour pussing over Trump throwing a Christian line drive at them. Didn’t bother to put a spin on it or even a slight curve... Just straight in over the plate.
Oh yes my fellow liberal feds do this. They stay stuff like “of course Trump won’t give us any extra time off,” grumbling. . .and then he does. Trump is LOVE.
And actually I’ve found I get more raises and COLAs etc under GOP presidents than Dem ones. The Dem presidents can take the fed/union vote for granted; the GOP can’t.
